Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Fahrzeug gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1.The present invention relates to a vehicle according to the preamble of claim 1.

Ein derartiges Fahrzeug ist aus der EP 1 783 042 A1 bekannt. Zum technischen Hintergrund der vorliegenden Erfindung zählen die EP 1 081 039 A2 sowie die US 7,669,686 B1 .Such a vehicle is out of the EP 1 783 042 A1 known. The technical background of the present invention include the EP 1 081 039 A2 as well as the US Pat. No. 7,669,686 B1 ,

Motorroller sind mit einer Fliehkraftkupplung ausgestattet. Um bei stehendem Fahrzeug ein Wegrollen des Motorrollers zu verhindern, ist üblicherweise eine Feststellbremse, die im Folgenden auch als "Parkbremse" bezeichnet wird, vorgesehen. Die Parkbremsen von Motorrollern können von Hand ein- und ausgelegt werden.Scooters are equipped with a centrifugal clutch. In order to prevent the scooter from rolling away when the vehicle is stationary, a parking brake, which is also referred to below as a "parking brake", is usually provided. The parking brakes of scooters can be manually set and laid out.

Bei den derzeit auf dem Markt angebotenen Motorrollern kann der Motor gestartet werden, obwohl die Parkbremse eingelegt ist. Da, wie bereits erwähnt, Motorroller üblicherweise mit einer Fliehkraftkupplung ausgestattet sind, bemerkt der Fahrer unter Umständen erst wenn er losfahren möchte, dass die Parkbremse eingelegt ist, was zu Stürzen führen kann.With the scooters currently available on the market, the engine can be started even though the parking brake is engaged. Since, as already mentioned, scooters are usually equipped with a centrifugal clutch, noticed Under certain circumstances, the driver may only want to start driving if the parking brake is engaged, which can lead to falls.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, ein Fahrzeug, insbesondere ein Motorrad, insbesondere einen Motorroller, mit einem Starterelement und einem Betätigungselement zur Betätigung einer Parkbremse zu schaffen, das eine höhere Bediensicherheit aufweist.The object of the invention is to provide a vehicle, in particular a motorcycle, in particular a scooter, with a starter element and an actuating element for actuating a parking brake, which has a higher operating safety.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale des Patentanspruches 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind den Unteransprüchen zu entnehmen.This object is solved by the features of claim 1. Advantageous embodiments and further developments of the invention can be found in the dependent claims.

Ausgangspunkt der Erfindung ist ein Fahrzeug, insbesondere ein Motorrad und insbesondere ein Motorroller mit einem "ersten Bedienelement", das zum Starten eines Antriebsmotors des Fahrzeugs vorgesehen ist und einem zweiten Bedienelement, das zum Betätigen, d.h. zum Ein- und/oder Auslegen einer Parkbremse des Fahrzeugs vorgesehen ist, wobei das zweite Bedienelement eine Parkstellung, in der die Parkbremse eingelegt ist, bzw. eine Fahrstellung, in der die Parkbremse ausgelegt ist, einnehmen kann. Ganz allgemein besteht der Grundgedanke der Erfindung darin, sicherzustellen, dass ein Starten des Antriebsmotors zuverlässig verhindert wird, wenn die Parkbremse eingelegt wird.The starting point of the invention is a vehicle, in particular a motorcycle, and in particular a scooter with a "first operating element", which is provided for starting a drive motor of the vehicle and a second operating element, which is used for actuating, i. is provided for engaging and / or laying a parking brake of the vehicle, wherein the second control element can occupy a parking position in which the parking brake is engaged, or a driving position in which the parking brake is designed. More generally, the basic idea of the invention is to ensure that starting of the drive motor is reliably prevented when the parking brake is engaged.

Dies könnte auch auf elektronischem Wege erreicht werden. So könnte elektronisch mittels einer Sensorik überwacht werden, ob die Parkbremse eingelegt ist und wenn ein entsprechendes Signal vorliegt, das anzeigt, dass die Parkbremse eingelegt ist, könnte ebenfalls elektronisch ein Starten des Antriebsmotors unterbunden werden.This could also be achieved electronically. So could be monitored electronically by means of a sensor, if the parking brake is engaged and if there is a corresponding signal indicating that the parking brake is engaged, also electronically starting the drive motor could be prevented.

Der Kern der Erfindung besteht darin, dass das erste Bedienelement nicht betätigbar oder sogar unzugänglich ist, wenn sich das zweite Bedienelement in der Parkstellung befindet. Das Starten, oder genauer gesagt, ein Betätigen des Startelements des Verbrennungsmotors wird also "mechanisch" unterbunden, in dem in der Parkstellung des zweiten Bedienelements das erste Bedienelement nicht betätigbar und/oder überhaupt nicht zugänglich ist. Wie bereits erwähnt, könnte dies alternativ auch elektronisch erreicht werden. Denkbar ist, auch, dass das elektronische System als redundantes System vorgesehen ist.The essence of the invention is that the first control is not operable or even inaccessible when the second control is in the park position. The starting, or more precisely, an actuation of the starting element of the internal combustion engine is thus "mechanically" prevented, in the parking position of the second operating element, the first control element is not operable and / or not accessible. As already mentioned, this could alternatively also be achieved electronically. It is also conceivable that the electronic system is provided as a redundant system.

Nach einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist das erste Bedienelement durch das zweite Bedienelement, das schwenkbar angeordnet sein kann, abgedeckt bzw. verdeckt, wenn sich das zweite Bedienelement in der Parkstellung befindet.According to a development of the invention, the first operating element is covered or concealed by the second operating element, which can be arranged to be pivotable, when the second operating element is in the parking position.

Sowohl das erste Bedienelement als auch das zweite Bedienelement können jeweils an einem Lenker des Fahrzeugs insbesondere in einem Griffbereich des Lenkers angeordnet sein. Vorzugsweise sind beide Bedienelemente im Bereich ein- und desselben Griffs des Lenkers angeordnet. Vorzugsweise sind beide Bedienelemente im Bereich des - in Fahrtrichtung des Fahrzeugs gesehenen - rechten Lenkergriffs angeordnet. Insbesondere können beide Bedienelemente auf derjenigen Lenkerseite angeordnet sein, auf der ein Gasdrehgriff des Fahrzeugs angeordnet ist.Both the first control element and the second control element can each be arranged on a handlebar of the vehicle, in particular in a grip region of the handlebar. Preferably, both controls are arranged in the area of one and the same handle of the handlebar. Preferably, both controls are arranged in the region of the - viewed in the direction of travel of the vehicle - right handlebar grip. In particular, both controls can be arranged on those handlebar side on which a throttle grip of the vehicle is arranged.

Bei dem ersten Bedienelement kann es sich z. B. einen Drucktaster oder um einen Kippschalter, insbesondere auch um einen in zwei Richtungen kippbaren Schalter handeln. Es kann vorgesehen sein, dass durch Betätigen in der einen Richtung der Antriebsmotor gestartet und durch Betätigen in der anderen Richtung der Antriebsmotor ausgeschaltet wird.In the first control, it may, for. As a push button or a toggle switch, in particular also act on a tiltable switch in two directions. It can be provided that the drive motor is started by actuating in one direction and the drive motor is switched off by actuating in the other direction.

Das zweite Bedienelement ist schwenkbar bzw. drehbar angeordnet. Die Schwenk- bzw. Drehachse des zweiten Bedienelements ist durch eine Längsachse eines Griffstücks des Lenkers gebildet.The second operating element is pivotally or rotatably arranged. The pivot or rotation axis of the second operating element is formed by a longitudinal axis of a handle of the handlebar.

Nach einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass das zweite Bedienelement über einen Seil- oder Bowdenzug mit einer Parkbremseinrichtung gekoppelt ist. Zum Einlegen der Parkbremse ist eine Zugkraft erforderlich, die mechanisch über das zweite Bedienelement und den Seil- oder Bowdenzug in die Parkbremseinrichtung eingeleitet wird.According to a development of the invention it is provided that the second operating element is coupled via a cable or Bowden cable with a parking brake device. To apply the parking brake a traction is required, which is introduced mechanically via the second control element and the cable or Bowden cable in the parking brake device.

Das zweite Bedienelement kann mittels einer Feder in Richtung der Fahrstellung vorgespannt sein. Zum Einlegen der Parkbremse muss das zweite Bedienelement entgegen der von der Feder ausgeübten Kraft in die Parkstellung bewegt werden.The second operating element can be biased by means of a spring in the direction of the driving position. To engage the parking brake, the second operating element must be moved against the force exerted by the spring in the parking position.

Nach einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist eine Sperreinrichtung vorgesehen, welche ein selbsttätiges, d.h. unbeabsichtigtes Zurückbewegen des zweiten Bedienelements in die Fahrstellung verhindert, sobald die Parkstellung erreicht wird. Die Sperreinrichtung kann von Hand gelöst werden. Im Falle eines Lösens der Sperreinrichtung wird das zweite Bedienelement durch die Feder "automatisch" in die Fahrstellung, in der ein Starten des Antriebsmotors des Fahrzeugs möglich ist, zurückbewegt.According to a development of the invention a locking device is provided, which is an automatic, i. prevents unintentional moving back of the second control element in the driving position when the parking position is reached. The locking device can be released by hand. In the case of a release of the locking device, the second control element by the spring "automatically" in the driving position in which a start of the drive motor of the vehicle is possible, moved back.

Im Folgenden wird die Erfindung im Zusammenhang mit der Zeichnung näher erläutert. Die Figuren 1 und 2 zeigen das Grundprinzip der Erfindung in schematischer Darstellung.In the following the invention will be explained in connection with the drawing. The Figures 1 and 2 show the basic principle of the invention in a schematic representation.

Figur 1 zeigt einen Ausschnitt eines Lenkers eines Motorrads bzw. eines Motorrollers im Bereich des - in Fahrtrichtung gesehen - rechten Griffstücks 1, welches hier als Gasdrehgriff ausgebildet ist. Im Bereich des Gasdrehgriffs oder, genauer gesagt, zwischen der Lenkermitte und dem Gasdrehgriff ist ein erstes Bedienelement 2 und ein zweites Bedienelement 3 vorgesehen. Das erste Bedienelement ist hier als Drucktaster oder als Kippschalter ausgebildet und zum Starten eines hier nicht näher dargestellten Antriebsmotors des Motorrads bzw. Motorrollers vorgesehen. FIG. 1 shows a section of a handlebar of a motorcycle or a scooter in the region of - viewed in the direction of travel - right handle 1, which is designed here as a throttle grip. In the region of the throttle grip or, more precisely, between the middle of the handlebar and the throttle grip, a first control element 2 and a second control element 3 is provided. The first control element is designed here as a push button or as a toggle switch and provided for starting a drive motor of the motorcycle or scooter not shown here.

Das zweite Bedienelement ist zum Betätigen einer Parkbremse des Motorrads bzw. Motorrollers vorgesehen. In der in Figur 1 gezeigten Stellung des zweiten Bedienelements 3 ist die Parkbremse eingelegt. In einer gestrichelt dargestellten Stellung 3' des zweiten Bedienelements ist die Parkbremse ausgelegt. Das zweite Bedienelement 3 kann zwischen der Parkstellung und der "Fahrstellung" hin und her verschwenkt werden. Die Schwenkachse des zweiten Bedienelements, ist, wie aus Figur 1 ersichtlich ist, im Wesentlichen durch die Mittellängsachse des Gasdrehgriffs 1 des Lenkers gebildet.The second operating element is provided for actuating a parking brake of the motorcycle or scooter. In the in FIG. 1 shown position of the second control element 3, the parking brake is engaged. In a dashed line shown position 3 'of the second control element, the parking brake is designed. The second control element 3 can be pivoted back and forth between the parking position and the "driving position". The pivot axis of the second operating element is, as shown FIG. 1 can be seen, formed essentially by the central longitudinal axis of the throttle grip 1 of the handlebar.

Wie aus Figur 1 ersichtlich ist, ist das erste Bedienelement 2 nicht betätigbar bzw. unzugänglich, wenn sich das zweite Bedienelement 3 in der Parkstellung befindet. Das erste Bedienelement 2 ist, wenn sich das zweite Bedienelement 3 in der Parkstellung befindet, durch das zweite Bedienelement 3 verdeckt bzw. abgedeckt und somit nicht zugänglich bzw. nicht betätigbar. Dadurch wird in einfacher mechanischer Weise und sehr zuverlässig verhindert, dass bei eingelegter Parkbremse der Antriebsmotor des Fahrzeugs gestartet wird.How out FIG. 1 it can be seen, the first control element 2 is not operable or inaccessible when the second control element 3 is in the park position. The first operating element 2 is, when the second operating element 3 is in the parking position, covered or covered by the second operating element 3 and thus not accessible or not operable. As a result, it is prevented in a simple mechanical manner and very reliably that when the parking brake is engaged, the drive motor of the vehicle is started.

Figur 2 zeigt eine Explosionszeichnung der wesentlichen Komponenten der in Figur 1 gezeigten Anordnung. Wie aus Figur 2 ersichtlich ist, weist das zweite Bedienelement ein zylindrisches Lagerteil 3a und einen einstückig damit verbundenen L-förmig ausgebildeten Hebelarm 3b, 3c auf, wobei der dem Lagerstück 3a angewandte Schenkel 3c des Hebelarms 3b, 3c dazu vorgesehen ist, in der Parkstellung das erste Bedienelement 2 abzudecken bzw. zu verdecken. FIG. 2 shows an exploded view of the essential components of in FIG. 1 shown arrangement. How out FIG. 2 It can be seen, the second control element has a cylindrical bearing part 3a and an integrally connected L-shaped lever arm 3b, 3c, wherein the bearing piece 3a applied leg 3c of the lever arm 3b, 3c is provided to, in the parking position, the first control element. 2 cover or obscure.

Ferner ersichtlich ist eine im Lagerabschnitt 3a vorgesehene, nutartige Vertiefung 3d, die zur Aufnahme eines Endes eines Seilzugseils bzw. eines Bowdenzugseils vorgesehen ist. Über das Seil (nicht dargestellt) ist das zweite Bedienelement mechanisch mit einer Parkbremseinrichtung (nicht dargestellt) verbunden. Wird das zweite Bedienelement von der Fahrstellung 3' in die Parkstellung 3 nach unten verschwenkt, so wird eine Zugkraft auf das Seil (nicht dargestellt) ausgeübt und auf die Parkbremseinrichtung übertragen, wodurch die Parkbremse eingelegt wird.Also visible is a groove-like recess 3d provided in the bearing section 3a, which is provided for receiving one end of a cable pull cable or a Bowden cable cable. About the rope (not shown), the second control element is mechanically connected to a parking brake device (not shown). If the second operating element is pivoted downward from the driving position 3 'into the parking position 3, a pulling force is exerted on the cable (not shown) and transmitted to the parking brake device, whereby the parking brake is engaged.

Die Parkbremseinrichtung, kann durch eine Hinterradbremse des Fahrzeugs gebildet sein, wobei vorgesehen sein kann, dass die Hinterradbremse im Betrieb des Fahrzeugs über die übliche Bremshydraulik und bei stehendem Fahrzeug zum "Einlegen der Parkbremse" alternativ dazu mechanisch über den bereits erwähnten Seil- bzw. Bowdenzug betätigbar, d.h. schließbar ist.The parking brake device may be formed by a rear wheel brake of the vehicle, wherein it may be provided that the rear wheel brake during operation of the vehicle via the usual brake hydraulics and when the vehicle to "engage the parking brake" alternatively mechanically via the already mentioned cable or Bowden cable operable, ie is closable.

Alternativ dazu kann die Parkbremseinrichtung auch als separate Bremse (z.B. Trommel- oder Scheibenbremse) ausgebildet sein, mittels der bei abgestelltem Fahrzeug das Hinterrad festgestellt werden kann.Alternatively, the parking brake device can also be designed as a separate brake (for example drum brake or disc brake), by means of which the rear wheel can be detected when the vehicle is parked.

Die Parkbremseinrichtung kann auch durch einen Feststell- bzw. Sperrmechanismus gebildet sein, der mit einem Zahnrad oder einem Getriebeelement zusammenwirkt, derart dass das Zahnrad bzw. das Getriebeelement bei eingelegter Parkbremse blockiert bzw. gesperrt ist.The parking brake device may also be formed by a locking or locking mechanism which cooperates with a gear or a transmission element, such that the gear or the transmission element is blocked or locked when the parking brake is engaged.

Die in Figur 1 gezeigte Anordnung weist, wie aus Figur 2 ersichtlich ist, ferner eine Drehfeder 4 auf. Die Drehfeder spannt das zweite Bedienelement in Richtung der Fahrstellung 3' (vgl. Figur 1) vor. Zum Einlegen der Parkbremse muss das zweite Bedienelement 3 von der Fahrstellung 3' in die in Figur 1 gezeigte Parkstellung nach unten verschwenkt werden und zwar entgegen der von der Drehfeder 4 ausgeübten Vorspannkraft. Sobald die Parkstellung erreicht wird, rastet ein hier nicht näher dargestellter Rastmechanismus ein, welcher verhindert, dass sich das zweite Bedienelement selbsttätig wieder in Richtung der Fahrstellung 3' zurückbewegt.In the FIG. 1 shown arrangement, as shown FIG. 2 can be seen, further on a torsion spring 4. The torsion spring biases the second operating element in the direction of the driving position 3 '(cf. FIG. 1 ) in front. To insert the parking brake, the second control element 3 from the driving position 3 'in the in FIG. 1 Park position shown are pivoted down and against the force exerted by the torsion spring 4 biasing force. As soon as the parking position is reached, a detent mechanism, which is not shown here, engages, which prevents the second operating element from automatically moving back in the direction of the driving position 3 '.

Der Rastmechanismus bzw. die Sperreinrichtung kann von Hand gelöst werden. Sobald der Rastmechanismus bzw. die Sperreinrichtung gelöst ist, wird das zweite Bedienelement 3 durch die Drehfeder "automatisch" wieder in die Fahrstellung 3' zurückbewegt, was einhergeht mit einem Lösen der Parkbremse. The locking mechanism or the locking device can be released by hand. Once the locking mechanism or the locking device is released, the second control element 3 "automatically" by the torsion spring back into the driving position 3 'moved back, which is accompanied by a release of the parking brake.
